[Husker] Be sure to wear, um, BLACK

[Skylar Dodds]

I'm the exact opposite of you guys. One of the most AMAZING things about
Husker fans is their ability to swarm opposing stadiums and it looks VERY
good for the university and recruits to see NU fans takeover an opponent's
stadium.  This is a chance on national television during a fairly high
profile game.  It's a chance for the fans to truly affect the future of the
team.

Wearing red is the exact opposite effect.

That's what I said publicly yesterday. I ain't wearing red. I found out that
I'm one of the most stubborn people on the internet, possibly the most
stubborn Nebraska fan ever.

What I didn't mention was why I'm more likely to wear red. Simply - them
Wisconsites are going to be drinking all day. Maybe two days. It'll be much
easier to mooch their beer and brats if you're wearing the same color as
they are.

"Wear Red, Be Loud." And that's exactly how we will stand out from the
crowd; we will make sure Camp Randall stadium and all of Madison hears our
Husker voice.
